Wouldn't it be easier to dig a trench in the floor and slide it out edge on??

No chance of doing that Pete look at my early post metal poles concreted in all way round, I might take a part of the house wall out and take it that way :D

I am 6ft 1 and I can walk through the door without touching my head on the top of it so all should be well to get it out :)

Yes Alex, but in the end I will be able to control it from any part of the house/around the world with an internet connection

That's a DIY price no foundations no one to help you put it up and thin walls compared to what mine will be, I will be adding a cavity wall, plus a 1.8 :)

Yes I am fine thanks, your more than welcome to pop down pal:), I wouldn't fall for a school boy error like that but thanks for the heads up, you only have to think logically, the dish is 1.8 at its smallest point, and a standard door is 1950 :)

I've not had a beer for 7 weeks now but anyone is welcome to call if your ever passing and I will provide the beers:)
